Polish regulatory and tax administration trends

Overview

Recent reports highlight challenges and shifts within Poland’s regulatory and administrative landscape. A report by the Center for Development Strategy (CSR) indicates significant inefficiencies in economic regulation. Over a five-year period, regulators such as UOKiK, URE, UKE, and UTK imposed fines exceeding 3.6 billion PLN, but the collection rate is estimated at only approximately 25 percent. The CSR noted that excessive formalism and a lack of dialogue with businesses contribute to delays, with only 3 percent of antitrust proceedings completed within statutory timeframes.

Separately, the Polish National Revenue Administration (KAS) reported a significant increase in tax violation reports. In the first half of 2026, KAS received 45,500 reports, marking a 20.2 percent increase from the same period in 2025.

Legislative developments continue to shape the fiscal environment. The Ministry of Finance is moving forward with major tax reforms, including a proposed 22% CIT rate for large companies and a new 24% PIT bracket. Regarding VAT, parliamentary work has concluded on amendments to simplify reporting and protect businesses from liability for a contractor's tax arrears when using split payments.

New legislative proposals have reached the Sejm that could fundamentally change real estate taxation. A bill introduced by the Lewica parliamentary group proposes shifting property tax from surface area to a model incorporating market value. Under this plan, owners of three or more residential properties could face rates between 0.5% and 1.5% of the property's value. Additionally, recent voivodeship administrative court rulings have expanded the definition of ‘structures’ to include items like fences and transformers, which are taxed at 2% of their initial value, likely increasing costs for enterprises.
